Looks like your first example: headset<->cellphone <-$$$->
cellphone<->headset.
Since I got the cheap and older 200 minute (ergo, No minutes. No time.)
Cellular plan, having the thing on for a day ride (bike-to-bike) would run
up a serious phone bill in short order.
Bike-to-bike I believe FRS would be cheaper than running the two-bike link
via a cell tower, maybe not so if one has the Unlinited Family Time plan?
Interesting though. I would favor using an in-ear phone to drown out wind
noise rather than their speaker, imo.

I have one of those ear Bluetooth things that Best Buy sells for $50 or so,
but I get occassional echo-back for some reason. Can get annoying hearing
yourself over and over again. I quit using it for that problem (okay, it
looks dorky and people look at you like your nuts talking to youself).

Of course, there are always pros and cons. One problem with cells is
the coverage area and making a connection. If you're touring, for
example, there are large parts of the western US that have no coverage
whatsoever.

In our experience (I occasionally carry my wife's just in case,
haven't got one myself) we get good coverage out on the superslab, but
anyplace I ride by choice the coverage is non-existant, sometimes even
just a couple of miles off the highway, in the canyons.

Use the middle finger of the right hand. It works every time.
